In the not so distant future humanity begins its' third great age and begins to shoot vast slow moving colony ships off into the inky black distances towards the far off stars. What became of those adventurous souls who risked it all on the chance that they might find better more fulfilling lives on distant unknown worlds, might never have been known. But humanities' interstellar ambitions and ingenuity soon gain an edge as faster than light travel at long last becomes reality. And a second wave of exploration is begun as new ships leap out into the darkness tracing the paths of those first pioneers and seeking out those worlds were those first colony ships drifted through the centuries. The clock turns and a new age is begun as humanity becomes a race of many worlds, many cultures, and new peoples beneath the light of new stars. And with time a new interstellar community and government brings together all those far flung worlds.

In this next age, the Pyrius is just one of many ships darting about between the new and old colonies of humanities expanded territory. But for as much as they are just one tiny dot moving about against a vast landscape of black, the Pyrius is not your average ship and those who call her home are not your average crew. They are smugglers and are descended from families who were among the first to reach out into the dark to explore those stars. They are among those rare and hardy souls who some have called the 'gypsies of the stars', those who choose to call no world home and seek only to see what is beyond the ever changing horizon. Their only concerns are their family, their ship, their cargo, and their next pay day as they shift across the stars on an endless journey. But as they cross between places along a course few would choose to follow a single uncommon event leads them to a rare encounter among the darkness. This seemingly random event first changes their quiet days of sometimes lonely days of unending work, and then it changes the very nature of their lives and the future they might have followed.
